Play Farmville

Farmville is a virtual farming game developed by Zynga that requires making good judgment, math skills, and the desire to farm. Playing Farmville is very easy, if you know what you are doing.

Steps

1. Start slowly. It may seem tempting to try and create an enormous farm right away, but have patience. It is better to start slow than to lose all your money right off the bat.
   
2. Know when you will get on Farmville again. Each crop takes a certain amount of time to grow (i.e. 2 hours, 4 hours, 1 day, etc.). Once that crop has grown, you have the same amount of time that it took to grow to harvest it. If you don't harvest in time, your crops will wither and die.
   
3. Expand your farm. Start off by adding a few more plots of land (you can do this by clicking on the "Plow" option.) Adding more land will cost you a small amount.
   
4. Pay attention to your experience points (shown as XP). Once you get a certain amount of experience points, you level up. Leveling up usually will give you a small amount of money, and sometimes some more experience points.
   
5. After you have gotten farming down, try experimenting with animals and trees. Animals and trees will provide you with extra money and experience points. They also can come in handy once you have progressed further into the game.
   
6. Earn ribbons. There are many ribbons you can earn on Farmville from having many neighbors, or owning many animals. Once you earn a ribbon, you get coins and the ability to share your rewards with your friends. You can get ribbons until you get the blue ribbon for each type.

Tips

• Don't be afraid to experiment! Add some trees and animals or more land. Just be sure you don't waste all your money on animals or other objects.
  
• Observe your friends' farms. See what they do and how they run their farm. You could learn some helpful hints.
  
• Always take things slowly. You don't want to rush through this game.
  
• Helping your neighbors with their farms gets you more cash and experience points!
  

Warnings

• If you run out of money, you can't buy anything or plow anything until you get some more. Spend your money wisely!
  
• Dead crops don't produce any extra points and decrease in value. Be sure to harvest on time!
